iPhone, iPad and Android · 14-day free trial · no card required
Five ways to master every word
Plus printable worksheets, so practice never has to stop at a screen.
Spelling Practice
Look, cover, write, check — letter boxes and audio support guide every word, so practice actually teaches.
Spelling Quiz
A real spelling test: hear the word, hear it in a sentence, then type it. No hints, no shortcuts.
Anagrams
Unscramble a word's letters — a playful way to lock in patterns that are easy to forget.
Crosswords
Freshly generated crossword grids built from any word list, with definitions as the clues.
Spellings in Context
Fill the gap in a real sentence, so spelling is practised the way it's actually used.
Printable worksheets
One tap builds an A4 PDF — copy grid, anagrams, wordsearch, crossword and fill-the-gap — with an optional answer key.
A look inside
Four screens from the pupil side of the app.
Pupil home
The Daily Spelling Quest is waiting, with today's rule explained.
Spelling Practice
Look carefully, say it out loud, then cover and write.
Crosswords
A fresh grid from the week's own words, with definitions as the clues.
Spellings in Context
Spell the missing word in a real sentence, read aloud on request.
Tutors and teachers get their own screens: see the dashboard.
The Daily Spelling Quest
Ten minutes a day, perfectly pitched
A placement quiz finds where each pupil should start, then every quest mixes new words with ones they're learning, ones they find tricky, and old favourites due a refresh. Pupils never wade through menus — they tap one button and the right words are already waiting.
- ✦ A placement quiz finds each pupil's starting point — no menus to wade through
- ✦ Every quest mixes new, learning, tricky and refresh words
- ✦ A word counts as mastered once it's spelled correctly in three separate sessions
- ✦ Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum medals per spelling rule, plus a Spelling Journey map across the whole curriculum
- ✦ Rewards are effort-first: pupils earn Ink to spend on a wizard's Study — never prizes for speed
The whole curriculum, week by week
2,160
words
216
weekly lists
164
spelling rules
The complete National Curriculum in England spelling programme for Years 1 to 6, broken into weekly lists of ten words — browse by week to match your teaching, or by spelling rule to target a pattern.
Grown-ups can add their own words too, like a list sent home from school. Every word is read aloud by recorded audio so children can practise independently — the app never records sound, and never asks for microphone access.
